Can sadness make you sneeze?

Can sitting with sadness make you sneeze?

If so I am ready.

Ready to make the inside of this pointless cloth mask snotty, ready to feel sad for myself and the world.

Sad for the children, under attack and  undernourished. 

Sad for the workers, still unable to shrug off their yokes. 

Sad for the women, the queer, the different, the diseased, the forgotten.

Sad for the non-white.

Sad for a world adrift, growing warmer by the year.

Gesundheit.

BATTLE-SCARRED AND DISEASED SIX-INCHWORM

Lord bless the Lady.

Lady bless the Lord.

Maybe we do this just cause we're bored.

Crazy how we intuit a bust when we've scored.

Not hazy why we unglue it, with rust on the cord.

Lord best the Lord.

So the Lady rests with Ladies.

It's no wonder why we're having less babies.
